Prairie Youth
At the Prairie Campus, our youth community is a wonderful opportunity for those in 6th-12th grade to grow closer to God and one another.
BElong YOUth Collective
Be You and Belong
An affirming, LGBTQ+inclusive community of youth groups in Colorado Springs and surrounding areas. All 6th-12th graders are invited to join this welcoming community. LGBTQ+ inclusive churches throughout the Springs are bringing their youth groups together for times of connection, inspiration, and worship. We want our youth to know they are beloved children of God and they have a place to feel safe, to belong.
When - 3rd Sunday of each month, from 6 to 8 pm. Please note there is a different schedule for summer meetings.
Where: Peel House (by First Lutheran Church) 1515 N Cascade Ave.
What: A citywide, youth group under the direction of 11 LGBTQ+ inclusive churches (including FUMC Prairie Campus!!!). A safe, faith space for all, including queer youth. All Prairie youth are invited, however they identify. Our Prairie Youth Director, Alex Kerce, will be there to welcome your kids and provide leadership so there will be a familiar face.
